Nerula 1,389 Report post Posted January 29, 2022 Hills a Jacinda wet. will get the unions support. but hang on Efeso Collins will get the Samoan support. Good luck when the union lackeys go door knocking in Otara to "help" the folk with their postal votes. That is what's happened in the past. A split vote and Leo comes through the middle. Look out for Efeso to be given a plum job to clear the way for Hills. We can expect corruption from this mob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerula 1,389 Report post Posted January 30, 2022 Recommended by Auckland mayoralty: Efeso Collins confirms bid for the job Todd Niall17:36, Jan 26 2022 13 Fullscreen ABIGAIL DO Auckland councillor Fa’anana Efeso Collins has confirmed he’ll run for mayor in October, creating what may be a contest between rival, Labour-aligned candidates. Collins, who is Samoan, told Stuff it was a “bold move” he had been considering since last August. The high-profile Manukau ward councillor's mayoral confirmation will cause a flurry in Labour party circles, with fellow left-leaning councillor Richard Hills also poised to confirm a bid. Collins said it had become increasingly difficult waiting for the incumbent, two-term Labour veteran Phil Goff, to confirm his intentions – with the expectation he won’t run again.

ABIGAIL DOUGHERTY/STUFF Manukau Ward councillor Efeso Collins. Collins said he had a good chat this week about his decision, with Hills who chairs the council’s environment and climate change committee, and is understood to already have a campaign team. Hills has publicly indicated interest in the mayoralty, but has been waiting for Goff to clarify his future before publicly deciding whether to stand. The North Shore ward councillor said he was still interested, and his discussion with Collins on Monday had been about “finding a way forward together Hills said his own decision would be known in “coming weeks”, noting this was a “crucial time for our city, which needs the vision for an even better Auckland”. Left-leaning commentator and blogger Shane Te Pou said Collins was articulate and intelligent and had the ability to “reach across Auckland in his own way.” Te Pou favoured an earlier call by Collins for an open and transparent selection process to find a candidate to succeed Goff. RYAN ANDERSON/STUFF Auckland Councillor Richard Hills is considering a run for the mayoralty. “This is a real challenge for Labour, it would be better to have a unified candidate,” Te Pou told Stuff. Te Pou said if Hills was to confirm a mayoral bid, he would need Collins’ backing in the south where the Manukau ward councillor is based. The selection process Te Pou and Collins have called for has never previously been a part of centre-left mayoral campaigns in Auckland, where support has gravitated behind closed doors for a favoured candidate. Collins is understood to have been unhappy that that process appeared to be happening again behind Hills, with whom he has a good relationship. CHRIS MCKEEN/STUFF Restaurateur Leo Molloy already has his campaign up and running The 2022 mayoral race is potentially the most open yet of five since the amalgamated Auckland Council was created in 2010. Restaurateur Leo Molly is the highest-profile candidate so far, with billboards up around the city, with other declarations from previous candidate Craig Lord, newcomer Jake Law, and Ted Johnston. Viv Beck, chief executive of downtown promotion agency Heart of the City, has told Stuff she is close to a decision on whether to run.
